First time poster. Been very impressed with aribo in the first half tonight. Can see the difference down the right without tav.
18 Jul 2019 21:52:11
Big fan of Tav but thought polster had a great 2nd half.
18 Jul 2019 22:10:59
Agree Sparky, Thought aribo and docherty was 10/ 10 tonight.
18 Jul 2019 22:47:12
Young Doc is going to be a big player for us this season. Thr young guy looks sharp.
19 Jul 2019 00:27:59
Aribo stuck out like a sore thumb, like the look of him. He wasn't troubled much defensively but thought big Edmondson looked good on the ball, comfortable n can switch a ball.
19 Jul 2019 06:31:14
Only player i thought was letting us down last night was hastie. Still looked a little rusty. Hopefully this goes away with game time.
19 Jul 2019 08:55:54
undoubtably Tav is our 1st choice but Polster looks like a more than able deputy ( albeit only seen him against josephs and oxford ) just need to work on final ball but there's a player there.
19 Jul 2019 13:00:58
Docherty was great as well. . Hopefully ge can get a good run in the team.
18 Jul 2019 20:08:34
So what he wants to move to the premiere league can’t exactly blame the guy. One of the best leagues in the world if not the best.
As long as when he is at rangers he puts the shirt on and gives 100% on the pitch for us and if he moves good luck to the guy! He’s done us a service and he’s going to make the club profit.
18 Jul 2019 19:40:11
i know nobody will agree with me, don't really care as this is a banter site, but Morelos shouldn't even be in the squad, he doesn't want to play for us, he only wants the EPL so no matter how many he has scored or even if he scores tonight, i would not give him breathing space . Defoe is a better all rounder, Mc Pake could have been given a start. Firth should be in the team and not on the bench, Go on now throw peters at me, you are ll great at airing.
18 Jul 2019 20:29:15
Why should firth Be in the team? And who is Peter?
18 Jul 2019 20:39:10
Why would firth play when foderingham is by far as better keeper? Entitled to your opinion obviously but we're lucky to have a back up keeper as good as fods.
18 Jul 2019 21:17:51
paul 86 clever boy well read, PELTERS OK OK OK.
18 Jul 2019 21:22:22
FRUSTRATED BLUE, I just thought that since we were home and dry from the first leg, tonight would have been a good time to let a few fringe guys get a taste of the atmosphere, but we never seem to give may a chance and down the years apart from a few that has always been the case.
18 Jul 2019 21:55:34
We have it was mostly fringe players tonight. Foderingham is back up gkeeper so obviously if McGregor gets rested fods will play.
18 Jul 2019 21:56:23
So Morelos doesn't want to play for us, really, man of the match and a hattrick. would love to see the outcome then if he did want to play for us.
18 Jul 2019 22:22:16
If Morelos isn’t played then clubs cannot see his potential and if he doesn’t play in Europe then his value goes down and we can’t sell him and if we can’t sell him he goes in the huff and if he goes in the huff he doesn’t play .
18 Jul 2019 22:48:41
Your entitled to your opinion Ritchie but I've no problem with Morelos playing if he continues to put a shift in and score goals.
19 Jul 2019 02:21:02
Behave.
19 Jul 2019 06:10:49
Ritchie lol are you serious that was knowhere near our first 11. Mcgregor, barisic, tav, davis, jack, ojo all missed only goldson and kamara, morelos/ defoe and arfield would normally start.
19 Jul 2019 07:49:34
Ritchie clearly on the drink early doors yesterday.
19 Jul 2019 10:48:25
Win 6-0 and someone still complains and you are totally wrong about fredo.
18 Jul 2019 19:11:22
Scrap last comment just updated - Mcpake on subs bench.
18 Jul 2019 19:10:43
No sign of Mcpake though from what I see on bbc sport lineup.
18 Jul 2019 19:06:39
What does everyone think of tonight's line up?
I thought he might have stayed with pretty much same as last time
Be good too see Edmundson, polster, Hastie and stewart hopefully we get another good result tonight and boost there confidence.
18 Jul 2019 22:53:39
Stewart and Docherty excellent tonight.
18 Jul 2019 17:48:27
I might be reading too much into this, but if Candeias is being allowed to leave, does this suggest Morelos is too? Candeias has been AM's translator and amigo since he arrived. Just an opinion, not a fact, but would make sense.
18 Jul 2019 19:21:06
You're reading too much into it.
18 Jul 2019 19:42:55
Looks like Steve G is shifting over 30,s out like Candias, Lafferty and Dorrans so we can play a high pressing game with young and hungry players incl our academy.
Really looking forward to this season and I can, t wait until it starts.
18 Jul 2019 20:36:02
Nobody in the presses harder than the candyman 🤔.
18 Jul 2019 17:26:12
Wee Jackie seems to know our budget for transfers and herlander taken its toll on that budget! How the F! k does he know
Another Tim apologist.
18 Jul 2019 19:01:37
Jackies comedy gold.
18 Jul 2019 19:10:31
Do you mean Dr Jackie Mcnamara Phd, Bsc (hons) ACCA fellow of the institute of chartered accountants. Employed part time by the FBI to forensically trace the money laundered by the mexican drug cartels, or do you mean the Jackie Mcnamara that's currently deciding whether or not to have a barbecue pot noodle or a macaroni pie.
18 Jul 2019 23:03:49
TJBB best post in a long time in here👍.
18 Jul 2019 16:01:42
Papers full of stories about interest in players we'd like to keep not about those we'd like to move on. It'll be a big disappointment if they stay on our salary bill and contribute nothing.
18 Jul 2019 15:58:52
cummings back to rangers. Just a thought.
18 Jul 2019 16:05:44
Just a thought I hoped never to have.
Only joking, he wasn’t a bad player and I’m sure he’d still do well in the SPL. Not sure he’d get much game time or improve us that much?
18 Jul 2019 16:21:00
No thanks.
18 Jul 2019 16:24:53
He’s a natural finisher however his work rate is shocking. The reason why he wasn’t kept on.
18 Jul 2019 17:50:09
No thanks. Terrible. Only decent season in scotland was in the championship with Hibs. couldn't even cut it at Luton.
18 Jul 2019 18:46:31
Wouldn't mind him as a backup.
18 Jul 2019 21:59:13
back up to what, he was terrible. showed nothing in blue shirt, can't play 1 up for the life of him and since that's what we play there is no room at ibrox for him.
19 Jul 2019 10:40:02
he wasn’t good enough back then and he isn’t good enough now.
18 Jul 2019 15:54:16
Has the union bears been moved. I got a seat in bf1 and a lot of seats still available. I know they wanted moved to bf3.
18 Jul 2019 13:24:13
good luck to josh mcpake today---go show them kid---big chance to stamp your first team striker position and save us a bob or 2.
18 Jul 2019 13:29:21
He's a winger not a striker tho?
18 Jul 2019 14:59:10
Would have him ahead of Jones as it stands.
18 Jul 2019 15:15:33
Celtic daft as well.
18 Jul 2019 15:31:20
modern wingers are strikers---ie-ronaldo---bad example but you get the drift.
18 Jul 2019 15:34:19
Lewis Morgan is Rangers daft, what’s your point?
18 Jul 2019 15:47:37
Leon bhoy, why is it daft and Celtic sound great together just asking.
18 Jul 2019 16:25:40
Hahahaha at least someone is Celtic daft bc you lot are rangers daft!
19 Jul 2019 10:39:36
What do you actually base that on? Jones has done well in every match so far.
19 Jul 2019 10:42:24
He isn’t a striker deecee and jones is a far better player than him at the moment.
19 Jul 2019 10:47:43
What's special that he is doing today?
18 Jul 2019 12:25:50
If morelos went for 4 or 5 million that really would piss me off. I don't think we are that stupid. I smell a bit of shenanigans going on.
18 Jul 2019 13:07:26
As a lot of us have said on here, we need to sign another striker, whether morelos gets sold or not. If he does get sold, we will in all probability, need to sign 2 strikers.
Lafferty is being let go and ryan hardie is already away to Blackpool.
After seeing that Southampton are prepared to let Charlie Austin leave, i think he would be a very good signing for us, of course if he is fit and no injury worries.
He has another year left on his Southampton contract, so i would like us to bring him in on a season long loan deal, with the view of making the deal permanent, all things being well at the end of the season. It means no big transfer fee, that we probably couldn't afford anyway, to fork out for Austin.
He's been a prolific goalscorer every club he's played for, as far as Southampton where he's been blighted by injuries and has now fell out of favour. A fit hungry Charlie Austin, would score for fun in the scottish premiership. what's other bears thoughts on this?
18 Jul 2019 13:30:45
IF we could get him and keep him fit, he would score goals for fun up here. Wages could be a stumbling block tho if Southampton aren't happy to contribute to them.
18 Jul 2019 13:41:37
Charlie Austin would be exceptional up here, not sure what wage he’s on but I’d love to see him in a Rangers top.
18 Jul 2019 13:55:26
Sgloyal we will not pay 8 million for Austin.
U picking up anything re goldston away.
18 Jul 2019 15:34:50
Stop stealing my patter Coop.
19 Jul 2019 10:34:12
John 25, i didn't say we'd pay £8million for charlie austin mate. I said a possible year long loan deal and he then would be available for nothing, at the end of the season.
19 Jul 2019 10:36:57
I said months ago if we didn't get rid of morelos we would end up paying someone to take him and now it's going that way now talking 4 or 5 million 😭😭😭.
19 Jul 2019 10:45:23
Sorry mate. I didn't know rating charlie austin and wishing us to sign him, was stealing your patter! 😂.
19 Jul 2019 13:44:38
SGL. I was talking to a neighbour off mine today, Southampton supporter, He says Austin would tear it up in the Scottish Premiership, But he has attitude, 🏴🇦🇺.
18 Jul 2019 11:31:38
Morning everyone
Just reading the daily sport articles there apparently Gerrard wants one more signing doesn't say what position though
What do we all think or does anyone know what position we're looking too fill
Personally I think I would like another big striker in whether Morelos stays or goes
Hoping he stays as he is getting better the longer he's here just needs to keep his head more this season
Defo think we're all covered across the midfield, defence with the new lad I think we have enough cover unless Gerrard wants another big solid stopper in
But like I say I hope it's another big striker
What's the thoughts on the forum?
18 Jul 2019 12:29:47
Keepers-Good
CBs- Good
RB- Good
LB- Barisic has one more chance but feel Flanagan and Halliday are good cover
CM- Good for the next century
Wingers-Good
Strikers- One more (target man)
18 Jul 2019 12:55:42
I thought I read somewhere we might be trying to off load Halliday just an article I read the other day his name was mentioned in with dodoo, Dorrans, lafferty and holt.
18 Jul 2019 13:04:02
Article there also saying Borja Barîsîc is being eyed up by Dijon
If true I wonder how much would be offered and should we Let him go?
18 Jul 2019 13:57:20
The stigno I posted an article re Halliday and Murphy potentially going
My source is normally ok
It's about raising money to sign three players for around ten mill.
18 Jul 2019 14:30:32
@john25
Nice one - look forward too see who we bring in - be good to see some off the fringe players leaving and leaving a good healthy squad which is now looking very good with transfers all ready completed this window
Looking forward to the season ahead.
18 Jul 2019 14:42:32
Surprised if gaffer let's halliday go he seems to rate him in squad recall he said halliday off field captain but suppose money talks.
18 Jul 2019 15:04:00
Surely the main emphasis should be on the players who have commanded the highest fee and wage. Grezda for example, 2m plus I believe, and what's the deal with Herrera, he's extended his loan deal with Necaxa bit he's still a Rangers player?
I can't understand why the team at Rangers would spend so much time, and money, on Murphy, to get him back to full fitness, then put him on the market, that goes for Dorrans and Rossiter, Combined weekly wages spent on a treatment table.
It doesn't strike me as good business to allow them to leave, on the road back to full fitness, for what would be at a loss in terms of fees.
18 Jul 2019 15:55:26
Bryan u can't sell an unfit player mate.
Grezda is going. As for Herrera no one will buy him, contract finishes in June 20. Gerrard made it plain he wants him nowhere near ibrox.
All other players u mention wages saved go to new players we sign.
18 Jul 2019 10:33:21
Who do you leave out at CH katic or Goldson or Helander if it's 4 at the back?
18 Jul 2019 10:56:34
Obviously its helander until he proves that he is better than either goldson or katic👍.
18 Jul 2019 11:05:01
Leave Goldson.
18 Jul 2019 11:17:55
I love Katic but think it will be Helander and Goldson to begin with until Katic or Edmunson can force their way in. Incidentally I think both of them may play tonight.
18 Jul 2019 11:37:54
What price do people think we could get for barisic if sold.
18 Jul 2019 12:51:22
Really like big katic, but once everything settles down gerrard will select goldson and helander as his no.1 centre half partnership. I have absolutely no doubt about it.
18 Jul 2019 13:25:19
Croatian international with good stats for his country name your price, but knowing rangers we would sell for squat, me personally I would take 6 million and before any moans it's only an answer to a post, and as for 4 or 5 million for fredo as being reported by west ham blogs and the daily rebel, some garbage coming out by these people to undermine our club, one word comes to mind haters, anyway barasic 6 mill fredo 15 mill, I await the slagging off.
18 Jul 2019 14:05:56
True blue so true good post mate.
I think you are right re barisic we paid around two, he has now become Croatian regular. I feel 6 about right with sell on.
I have well written my views re Alf so will not slag u.
19 Jul 2019 11:56:59
Helander will play with Goldson, no way we have paid that money for him to sit on the bench.
18 Jul 2019 10:31:19
Too many on here trying to sell Morelos like an Amsterdam district, no wonder they can't get a decent profit for him. no one chases a ho unless it's a quickie 4M punt to cover our bills.
18 Jul 2019 10:57:51
So its the fans fault that the club have not had a bid for morelos. Well that's just nonsense jim👍.
18 Jul 2019 11:30:08
4M. Jim09. You having a laugh 😂.
18 Jul 2019 12:00:47
Maybe if he hadn't been red carded as many times last season we might have had a decent bid. By the way I'd like to keep him for another season. A good striker if he keeps the head.
18 Jul 2019 12:04:43
Cunny in Oz
There is an article in a West Ham web story which states they believe they could get Morelos for £4-£5m maybe that’s we’re Jim for his value from.
18 Jul 2019 12:16:10
g4rry Surley Morelos is worth more than 4/ 5M.
18 Jul 2019 12:27:28
West Ham just spent 45m on the lad from Frankfurt.
18 Jul 2019 13:31:45
Yes and we will see how that pans out, if the English want you they pay, but our club can't hold their nerve and stick to their guns, if they don't want to pay send them packing, the other mob have more bottle than us when it comes to selling much as I hate to say it, better go now and wash my finger for typing that last part.
18 Jul 2019 13:46:11
Cunny in Oz
I agree with you that he’s worth more than the article I read I’d value him at around the £12m mark with a % sell on clause.
18 Jul 2019 15:35:15
g4rry 👍.
18 Jul 2019 16:20:40
Barisic is full Croatian international the bidding should be starting north of 15 mill.
18 Jul 2019 07:39:01
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 18th July 2019
18 Jul 2019 03:19:10
December and January are the most important times for rangers if they get unbeaten through these two months i can see them winning the league. i just want rangers to wipe the smiles off thier smug faces?
18 Jul 2019 07:46:18
What if we get beat august to november and february to may? Every month is important, its about consistency. If we can do that we will be in with a shout👍.
18 Jul 2019 10:20:47
thought there is a winter break in January.
18 Jul 2019 00:13:01
sorry to see young Hardie go, he hung around faithfully waiting for the chance that didn't come, seems a usual ending to a lot of our young talent. Good luck lad in your new club, hope you can go on to prove we may have made a mistake.
18 Jul 2019 00:40:19
Where would he get a chance? Bearing in mind he is the same age as Morelos. he is nowhere close to the grade we need.
18 Jul 2019 07:19:06
Defo agree with Paul, Hardie just wasn’t good enough simple as that.
